This motif, which binds the calcium ion , is found in several proteins that regulate cellular activity via changes in calcium ion concentrations. Many proteins that bind to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and regulate gene expression incorporate a zinc finger motif. As the name implies, this motif ...
Many marine species can regulate the intensity of bioluminescence from their ventral photophores in order to counterilluminate, a camouflage technique whereby animals closely match the intensity of the downwelling illumination blocked by their bodies, thereby hiding their silhouettes. Recent studies on auto...
The liver, functioning as an endocrine organ, secretes a variety of substances that influence the activities of other body organs. Conversely, molecules generated by organs such as bone, the gut, and adipose tissue can also impact liver function. Accumul
calcium phosphate crystals, cholesterol crystals, amyloid β, hyaluronan, islet amyloid polypeptide, asbestos and silica.14 However, in HF, we suggest that mitochondria have a critical role in initiating inflammasome activation.17,18 In HF-associated inflammasome activation, the three main triggers are...
and hematopoietic stem cells have been rescued after exposure to the blood of a younger animal using a parabiosis model174. As noted before, the reactivation of Wnt in the intestine is capable of rejuvenating aged ISC32. In other organs, it is known that aging promotes the development of pro...
Albumin is one of the many proteins found in the blood plasma. The function of albumin is to maintain osmotic pressure. It acts as a carrier protein for substances such as hormones, enzymes, fatty acids, etc. Humans have the highest concentration of albumin in their blo...

ically, candesartan could have caused the marked inter-strain difference in the reduction of blood pressure and also could have significantly alleviated the cardiac hypertrophy in SHRSP. Thus, it is plausible that the observed inter-strain dif- ference in gene expression profile that was ameliorated...
These studies used ¼ the number of transplanted hepatocytes as used previously (26) and established a third critical feature of the method, namely, that we can regulate the growth and repopulation potential of hYAP-ERT2 transduced hepatocytes in vivo by tamoxifen administration. In the repopulate...
